Intro Am D Dm Am x 2
Am D D Am x 4
Verse 1
[Am]Now the dirt is washed away
And all [D]alibis are out
And the hands that used to heal me only [Am]curse me now.
The echoes of a woman so [D]kind
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my [Am]worried mind.
I lay there in the puddle of [D]myself
Fishing for a brand new wish from that [Am]bucket down the well.
And in her colours I find my [D]faith,
Cause I remember every word that lady [Am]used to say.
Chorus
She said [E]hearts can't break them[Dm]selves
Looking for [Am]something, leaving with nothing
But [E]souls can save them[Dm]selves
Learning to f[Am]ly, sweet [G]mother of [Am]mine![D]
[D]Be a long way home without you[Am]
It's such a long way home without you.
[D]Yeah, [D]yeah.[Am]
Verse 2
[Am]Miss my mother, like no other,
Made me [D]human, made me brother
Hands would swell and they would blister for my[Am] sake and my sisters
The guardian of my karma, keep my [D]feet on terra firma
And then release me like a scion to the [Am]sky!
Chorus
She said that [E]hearts can't break them[Dm]selves
Looking for som[Am]ething, leaving with nothing
But [E]souls can save them[Dm]selves
Learning to [Am]fly, sweet [G]mother of m[Am]ine[D]![D][Am]
[Am]This heart can tell [D]sometime[D][Am]
Verse 3
[Am]Sister, you have some hungry eyes
[D]Can bite back you're hypnotized
Smiling faces in disguise
[Am]Can bite back you're hypnotized.
Keep going against the grain
[D]And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
And soon that's [Am]all you'll know
And let's get this straight
Sometimes you'll rise, and there's [D]times you'll fall
After all, you're just blood and bones
And you don't [Am]owe no one nothing
No, you don't owe no one
So don't live [D]like one price is right,
Cause there's some things in your life that you can [Am]fight!
Chorus
She said that [E]hearts can't break the[Dm]mselves
Looking for [Am]something, wind up with nothing
But [E]souls can save the[Dm]mselves
Learning to [Am]fly, sweet [G]mother of m[Am]ine[D]!
[D]Of mine.[Am]
[Am] [D] [D] [Am]
Outro
She said [E]hearts can't break them[Dm]selves
Looking for [D]something, leaving with nothing
But [E]souls can save them[Dm]selves
Learning to f[D]ly, learning to fly
She said that [E]souls can save them[Dm]selves
Learning to [Am]fly, learning to [D]fly
Oh [E]souls can save them[Dm]selves
Learning to [C]fly, learning to fly
Oh [E]momma, how I[Dm] love you!
Learning to [C]fly, learning to fly
No [E]momma, how I [Dm]love you
Learning to [Am]fly, sweet [G]mother of m[Am]ine[D]![D]
We're a long way home with[Am]out you
